the majority of funding public universities receive is provided either by private donors or state/federal funding, not tuition. tuition rates (and other things like salary levels and raises) are either directly set by state legislatures or subject to approval by legislatures.

for example, at my school the operational budget for 2011 - 2012 is $900 million dollars, of which $275 million comes from tuition and fees. that's not counting the additional several hundred millions of dollars which come through outside grants and revenue projects.

to expand: in a free market tuition rates would be responsive to factors such as number of applicants, the tuition rates of other similar institutions, the economy in general, etc. - sadly that's just not the case.

I'm not underestimating it in anyway, but I too was considering law school, but after working as a clerk, and in a law firm, I just don't think it's for me.

you should sign off on your posts as -PhD applicant so people don't question you any more

i don't have to read these posts, i can skip them but no need to talk about how passé they are and how the OG career advices were better before you know who quit the game and corporatists bought it out. styleforum 2012 sup regis brad

But for lawl school, and especially right now, rankings are king.

yea we should be talking about middle eastern cooking instead.

ps: not a phd candidate.

but saying "i'm looking at schools between #9 and #14" is so arbitrary. those rankings are total bs.

i got to a top 15 ranked undergrad school and to be totally honest the teaching here is pretty subpar (which leads to the larger point of the issues w/ research universities).

that's because rankings are in no way based on the 'quality' of undergraduate teaching. it's a stupid process, but as long as people think it's important then it'll remain important.

i know, hence applicant.

Who you know is way more king than any rankings

but I'm not applying to phd programs..

yeah, that was pretty much my point.

i thought you were a phd candidate tegs?

no decided against it to pursue a career in administration because i can't go to school for another 10 years to make $35k.

well you posted a lot about applying i didn't follow those threads enough to know if you went through

PS vegetable pulao is from indian subcontinent =/= mid east and the colors are inspiration for spring13 fits

good on you.

i'm currently debating getting a phd or not. i would absolutely love to and think it suits my personality, etc but it doesn't necessarily seem like a good career choice. it's kind of depressing watching my roommate get a job at goldman where he'll be making 6 figures in a few years and i'm looking at 10 years @ less than 50k
